Attached to the bottom of the brass portion of the top of the horn just behind the locking ferrule is a small brass pipe that runs down below the motorboard and contains an electrical wire that starts with a small phonetip on the upper end and ends in a bare end below the motorboard. The wire is about 18" long. Also interesting is an electric switch below the turntable that seems to be part of the stop mechanism. Other than that, the machine seems to be an ordinary 250 with a spring motor. I took two pictures of the features that I have described above and would be glad to send them to anyone who asks and who provides me with an email address. Best Regards, Green Mountain Bill -- >From The Hubbard House On the park in Rochester, Vermont where it's always 1929. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
